Im not for you, I say desperately. We are so different. Our lives are a thousand and one worlds apart. It wouldnt work. And its dangerous.But his face only brightens. Then you do feel the same.We are not the sameand that is the whole point! I am not human, Aladdin. Everything that was once human in me was destroyed, and I was forged into something entirely different. Im not here to help youI was never here to help you, or any of my masters.He shakes his head. I dont believe that.It doesnt matter what you believe, I say bitterly. It is what it is, and it has nothing to do with what you want.He walks around me, forcing me to face him. You helped me get away from Darian in the desert. You got me into the palace when you could have let them find out who I really was. You taught me to dance, for skys sake! Youve had a hundred opportunities to trick me and betray me, but you dont. Youve helped me when I didnt wish for it.A chicken doesnt fly like other birds, but it is still a bird.Zahra! He spreads his hands, the wind ruffling his hair. You do care. I see it when you think Im not looking.
